Sitting on my bench for the past year have been these three lil old Yello bulldogs. They are old store stock. Brand new never smoked...but just the saddest lil pups you ever wanted to see. I bought them to because I knew they would clean up nice. But sonething always gets moved in front of the line when I'm doin pipe stuff.
Tonight I just got tired of lookin at them.
The bands were broken and rotted. The finish was splochy and they had been banged up and kicked around for decades so they had some chatter and scratches but structurally they were fine.
Removed the bands and then bobbed down the stummels a bit so stems could fit flush.
Then an accetone dip and hand sand from 220, 400, and then 800 to get rid of the scratches and chatter from getting kicked around for decades.
Quick trip to the wheel with some polish, and then a nice carnuba and shined up like lil champs.
